The viewpoint of this painting is a stylized version of Mount Pelineon, whence the main harbor of this work's setting can be seen in the background. Three soldiers appear in this work, all of them portrayed with dark skin, in anachronistic contrast to the thirteen light-skinned civilians. The foreground consists of two groupings of figures: the one to the left is compromised of four couples, two of them in a last embrace, the other two seemingly resigned to their fate. The mounted soldier on the right is poised to strike down a civilian whose arm is raised in hopeless self defense. Below them, an infant crawls to its mother's breast, though she is already struck with rigor mortis,  while a young nude woman writhes in her restraints. For ten points, name this painting of the events that began in April 1822 on a certain Aegean island, a work of Eugene Delacroix.
